Small Sellers Profiting Online

from the it's-not-so-hard dept

Back in the boom days it was popular for a team of MBAs to try to raise $50 million to sell *insert your random product here* online. Now, however, it's the small two to four person shops that are making all the money online. By keeping things small and focused these small e-commerce sites can apparently make a decent (if not overwhelming) living. That's really what the promise of the internet was in the early days, before it was taken over by folks screaming about the billions of dollars they could make.
